Will Smith is one of my favorite people.
He seems to truly practice what he preaches.
Two of the philosophies I hear him saying in this video that I really love:
Talent is overrated. Skill is being willing working at something until you’re either really good at it, or you die getting good at it.
Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity.

thank you for sharing this, quite motivational!
I appreciate you sharing this as well. I come back to it every few weeks or so and re-watch it because it’s just sooooo good. I find it inspiring, motivating, and grounding. Watching something like this gives me a sense of perspective on my life and it simplifies things I have a tendency to complicate or dwell upon unnecessarily.
Thanks to Kevin Gianni for sending me here, and to Carrie & Jonathan for posting it.

I have always loved Will Smith and now I know why!
Has anyone heard about what Will and Jada Smith are doing for charity:water? The three people who earn the most money for charity:water this September will be taken to Africa by Will Smith next year to watch wells being dug.
Crazy and cool.

What a rich collection of comments to motivate and
remind me of what’s needed to get where I want to be.
Thanks so much.
Hey Peggy! You’re welcome. Mostly thanks to Will “The Man” Smith!
